I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I’VE FEELING TWENTY TWO
EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT IF YOU KEEP ME NEXT TO YOU

Ugh. That’s enough of that. Have you ever noticed when you take the time to read song lyrics they always sound incredibly dumb? They’re like the world’s worst poetry. And that’s coming from a guy who thinks just about every kind of poetry is the world’s worst poetry.

Let’s take the rest of this intro to talk about my new favorite Netflix show, Brickleberry. This animated show follows a bunch of park rangers as they get into the most inappropriate adventures ever. It aired on Comedy Central for three seasons before somebody without a sense of humor pulled it. Surprisingly, there are plenty of these people at Comedy Central.

Think of it like South Park without the underlying big picture commentary. South Park often makes fun of the issues of the day. Brickleberry doesn’t. All they’re concerned with are jokes. Terrible, terrible jokes. The most common criticism is that the writers cross over the line too often, so keep that in mind if you’re offended by such things. If anything needs a trigger warning, it’s probably this show.

If you’re not hooked by the stripper episode, I’ll personally mail each and every one of you $50. Guaranteed or my name isn’t Heywood Jablowme.

Links I liked

1. Let’s start things off with this CBC Life article featuring YOUR BOY Nelly and a number of other less attractive personal finance bloggers. I pointed out how people in general have too much money in cash and need to start putting it to work.

The more interesting part of that article is the comment section. At least 90% of the comments are from other bloggers. I don’t have much in commentary, I just thought it was interesting.

3. Oddball Stocks shares a number of personal anecdotes that he thinks all point to one conclusion. The conclusion seems a little alarmist, but one thing is for sure. The time to buy is when nobody wants an asset. There are very few assets like that today.

5. Here’s an article by Go Curry Cracker! (the exclamation point is silent), who has a guest poster explain the advantages of setting up your company in Belize. It’s a little complicated day one, but it can save you a lot of taxes and makes it easier to travel everywhere.

11. Boomer and Echo argues Canada should have a universal drug pricing plan. Even though I’m a unabashed capitalist, I 100% agree. Alberta recently passed a law capping dental costs, which I am 100% for. If the government is going to get into medicine, it might as well go all the way.

2. I also outlined how much you’ll need to invest in Artis REIT to collect $1,000 per month. I’m an Artis shareholder, but, alas, I’m *only* collecting $999 per month in dividends. Or $60. Those numbers are basically the same.

I have secured a new freelance writing client. I’ll start posting those articles next week.
